UPDATE: 01/06/2013THE AURORA ADVOCATE, LINKED IN A COMMENT HERE, HAS REMOVED THE ARTICLE AND CLICKING ON LINKS ANYWHERE ON THE INTERNET TAKES US TO AN "IT'S NOT HERE ANYMORE" TYPE MESSAGE .HOWEVER, THE SAME ARTICLE WAS PICKED UP BY OTHERS, AND THE LATEST IS HERE:http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130102/09481421547/fbi-working-with-banks-chose-not-to-inform-occupy-leadership-assassination-plot-its-leaders.shtmlFBI, Working With Banks, Chose Not To Inform Occupy Leadership Of Assassination Plot On Its Leaders
<<Whatever you thought of the so-called "Occupy"
movement of the past year or so, it seems clear that there has been at
least a bit of overreaction to them. I mean, treating these protests,
which have, by and large, been peaceful, as terrorist groups is just
silly. But, as you may have seen over the past few days, that's exactly what the FBI did (as uncovered by the Partnership for Civil Justice Fund (PCJF)), and they did it in a coordinated manner with both Homeland Security and privately held banking corporations.
This certainly isn't the first time government organizations have
allowed for the appearance of impropriety this way, but just as when DHS
held a press conference
from Disney's HQ, there's a certain flaunting feeling when the
coordination with private companies against the public is so blatant.
All that being said, you'd at least expect the FBI, no matter what level
of corporate bowing they wish to engage in, to at least keep American
citizens apprised of threats against their life. Unfortunately, it would
appear the FBI disagrees when the citizens in question are Occupy
leadership, as they allowed a plot to murder Occupy leadership in Texas with suppressed sniper rifles go untold until a rights group dug it up.

PLEASE READ ALL OF THIS CAREFULLY AND THINK! IT IS OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE THAT YOU JUST THINK!

<<It was more sophisticated than we had imagined: new documents show that the violent crackdown on Occupy last fall – so mystifying at the time – was not just coordinated at the level of the FBI, the Department of Homeland Security, and local police. The crackdown, which involved, as you may recall, violent arrests, group disruption, canister missiles to the skulls of protesters, people held in handcuffs so tight they were injured, people held in bondage till they were forced to wet or soil themselves –was coordinated with the big banks themselves.

The Partnership for Civil Justice Fund, in a groundbreaking scoop that should once more shame major US media outlets (why are nonprofits now some of the only entities in America left breaking major civil liberties news?), filed this request. The document – reproduced here in an easily searchable format – shows a terrifying network of coordinated DHS, FBI, police, regional fusion center, and private-sector activity so completely merged into one another that the monstrous whole is, in fact, one entity: in some cases, bearing a single name, the Domestic Security Alliance Council. And it reveals this merged entity to have one centrally planned, locally executed mission. The documents, in short, show the cops and DHS working for and with banks to target, arrest, and politically disable peaceful American citizens.

The documents, released after long delay in the week between Christmas and New Year, show a nationwide meta-plot unfolding in city after city in an Orwellian world: six American universities are sites where campus police funneled information about students involved with OWS to the FBI, with the administrations' knowledge (p51); banks sat down with FBI officials to pool information about OWS protesters harvested by private security; plans to crush Occupy events, planned for a month down the road, were made by the FBI – and offered to the representatives of the same organizations that the protests would target; and even threats of the assassination of OWS leaders by sniper fire – by whom? Where? – now remain redacted and undisclosed to those American citizens in danger, contrary to standard FBI practice to inform the person concerned when there is a threat against a political leader (p61).

As Mara Verheyden-Hilliard, executive director of the PCJF, put it, the documents show that from the start, the FBI – though it acknowledges Occupy movement as being, in fact, a peaceful organization – nonetheless designated OWS repeatedly as a "terrorist threat":

"FBI documents just obtained by the Partnership for Civil Justice Fund (PCJF) … reveal that from its inception, the FBI treated the Occupy movement as a potential criminal and terrorist threat … The PCJF has obtained heavily redacted documents showing that FBI offices and agents around the country were in high gear conducting surveillance against the movement even as early as August 2011, a month prior to the establishment of the OWS encampment in Zuccotti Park and other Occupy actions around the country."

Verheyden-Hilliard points out the close partnering of banks, the New York Stock Exchange and at least one local Federal Reserve with the FBI and DHS, and calls it "police-statism":

"This production [of documents], which we believe is just the tip of the iceberg, is a window into the nationwide scope of the FBI's surveillance, monitoring, and reporting on peaceful protestors organizing with the Occupy movement … These documents also show these federal agencies functioning as a de facto intelligence arm of Wall Street and Corporate America."

The documents show stunning range: in Denver, Colorado, that branch of the FBI and a "Bank Fraud Working Group" met in November 2011 – during the Occupy protests – to surveil the group. The Federal Reserve of Richmond, Virginia had its own private security surveilling Occupy Tampa and Tampa Veterans for Peace and passing privately-collected information on activists back to the Richmond FBI, which, in turn, categorized OWS activities under its "domestic terrorism" unit. The Anchorage, Alaska "terrorism task force" was watching Occupy Anchorage. The Jackson, Michigan "joint terrorism task force" was issuing a "counterterrorism preparedness alert" about the ill-organized grandmas and college sophomores in Occupy there. Also in Jackson, Michigan, the FBI and the "Bank Security Group" – multiple private banks – met to discuss the reaction to "National Bad Bank Sit-in Day" (the response was violent, as you may recall). The Virginia FBI sent that state's Occupy members' details to the Virginia terrorism fusion center. The Memphis FBI tracked OWS under its "joint terrorism task force" aegis, too. And so on, for over 100 pages.

Jason Leopold, at Truthout.org, who has sought similar documents for more than a year, reported that the FBI falsely asserted in response to his own FOIA requests that no documents related to its infiltration of Occupy Wall Street existed at all. But the release may be strategic: if you are an Occupy activist and see how your information is being sent to terrorism task forces and fusion centers, not to mention the "longterm plans" of some redacted group to shoot you, this document is quite the deterrent.

There is a new twist: the merger of the private sector, DHS and the FBI means that any of us can become WikiLeaks, a point that Julian Assange was trying to make in explaining the argument behind his recent book. The fusion of the tracking of money and the suppression of dissent means that a huge area of vulnerability in civil society – people's income streams and financial records – is now firmly in the hands of the banks, which are, in turn, now in the business of tracking your dissent.

Remember that only 10% of the money donated to WikiLeaks can be processed – because of financial sector and DHS-sponsored targeting of PayPal data. With this merger, that crushing of one's personal or business financial freedom can happen to any of us. How messy, criminalizing and prosecuting dissent. How simple, by contrast, just to label an entity a "terrorist organization" and choke off, disrupt or indict its sources of financing.

Why the huge push for counterterrorism "fusion centers", the DHS militarizing of police departments, and so on? It was never really about "the terrorists". It was not even about civil unrest. It was always about this moment, when vast crimes might be uncovered by citizens – it was always, that is to say, meant to be about you.>>

FROM THE ORGANIZATION THAT GAINED ACCESS TO THE REDACTED DE-CLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS:http://www.justiceonline.org/commentary/fbi-files-ows.html
“The documents are heavily redacted, and it is clear from the production that the FBI is withholding far more material. We are filing an appeal challenging this response and demanding full disclosure to the public of the records of this operation,” stated Heather Benno, staff attorney with the PCJF.
Documents released show coordination between the FBI, Department of Homeland Security and corporate America. They include a report by the Domestic Security Alliance Council (DSAC), described by the federal government as “a strategic partnership between the FBI, the Department of Homeland Security and the private sector,” discussing the OWS protests at the West Coast ports to “raise awareness concerning this type of criminal activity.” The DSAC report shows the nature of secret collaboration between American intelligence agencies and their corporate clients - the document contains a “handling notice” that the information is “meant for use primarily within the corporate security community. Such messages shall not be released in either written or oral form to the media, the general public or other personnel…” (The DSAC document was also obtained by the Northern California ACLU which has sought local FBI surveillance files.)
The Denver, CO FBI and its Bank Fraud Working Group met and were briefed on Occupy Wall Street in November 2011. Members of the Working Group include private financial institutions and local area law enforcement.

As early as August 19, 2011, the FBI in New York was meeting with the New York Stock Exchange to discuss the Occupy Wall Street protests that wouldn’t start for another month. By September, prior to the start of the OWS, the FBI was notifying businesses that they might be the focus of an OWS protest.
The FBI’s Indianapolis division released a “Potential Criminal Activity Alert” on September 15, 2011, even though they acknowledged that no specific protest date had been scheduled in Indiana. The documents show that the Indianapolis division of the FBI was coordinating with “All Indiana State and Local Law Enforcement Agencies,” as well as the “Indiana Intelligence Fusion Center,” the FBI “Directorate of Intelligence” and other national FBI coordinating mechanisms.
Naval Criminal Investigative Services (NCIS) reported to the DSAC on the relationship between OWS and organized labor for the port actions. The NCIS describes itself as “an elite worldwide federal law enforcement organization” whose “mission is to investigate and defeat criminal, terrorist, and foreign intelligence threats to the United States Navy and Marine Corps ashore, afloat and in cyberspace.” The NCIS also assists with the transport of Guantanamo prisoners.
DSAC issued several tips to its corporate clients on “civil unrest” which it defines as ranging from “small, organized rallies to large-scale demonstrations and rioting.” It advised to dress conservatively, avoid political discussions and “avoid all large gatherings related to civil issues. Even seemingly peaceful rallies can spur violent activity or be met with resistance by security forces. Bystanders may be arrested or harmed by security forces using water cannons, tear gas or other measures to control crowds.”
The Tampa, Florida FBI “Domestic Terrorism” liaison participated with the Tampa Police Department’s monthly intelligence meeting in which Occupy Lakeland, Occupy Polk County and Occupy St. Petersburg were discussed. They reported on an individual “leading the Occupy Tampa” and plans for travel to Gainesville for a protest planning meeting, as well as on Veterans for Peace plans to protest at MacDill Air Force Base.>>

IF YOU THINK THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT KEEPS FILES ON JUST OCCUPY WALL STREET, ASK YOURSELF HOW THEY KNEW IN ADVANCE HOW TO PULL UP INFO ON ANY OF THESE PEOPLE! THEY HAD EASY ACCESS, THEY HAVE EASY ACCESS TO ALL OF OUR LIVES, IN TIDY FILES, ALL SET TO HANG US FOR CONTRIVED "CRIMES" ANY TIME THEY PLEASE.
In 1970, our pastor took a trip to Switzerland and the U.K. with some other pastors to learn about the new computer systems, to be 'educated' on how they would change our lives, especially how we banked and bought the things we need, about the new barcodes.
One-by-one, in Switzerland, the men were asked just two things: their full names, and their dates of birth. Within minutes, to each man's astonishment, print out cards were produced with everything from where they were born, at what time, to every vaccination each had had, their school grades, their college records, their health records, their military service, the members of their families, their dates of birth, the make and model of any vehicles they owned, or property, and an answer of yes or no to a generated question: "Criminal Record?"
Our pastor came home a changed man. He said to us, over 40 years ago now: "There are powers in this world who know everything about each of us. This has shaken me to my core. God help us!"
FORTY-TWO YEARS AGO! DO YOU REALLY THINK THEY HAVEN'T IMPROVED ON THAT!
FORTY-TWO YEARS AGO THE BANKERS IN SWITZERLAND HAD ACCESS TO LAW-ABIDING CITIZENS' FILES ABOUT THEIR LIFE, THEIR WORK, THEIR FAMILIES! THESE U.S. CITIZENS HAD COMMITTED NO CRIMES, AND AL QAEDA WAS NOWHERE ON THIS EARTH! 9/11 WAS 30 YEARS AWAY!

REMEMBER THIS?
REMEMBER THIS!!!!

FIRST THEY CAME FOR THE STATE MILITIAS, THEN FOR 'RADICAL RELIGIOUS GROUPS', THEN FOR WIKILEAKS, THEN FOR ANONYMOUS, THEN FOR OCCUPY WALL STREET, THEN FOR VETERANS AGAINST THE WAR, THEN FOR ....US...THEN THEY COME FOR US, DON'T YOU GET IT???

Are we dealing with a NATION or with a CORPORATION, a REPUBLIC, or a DEMOCRACY, when we deal with the Federal government? Is the NEW Constitution, the one that subtly replace the original, LEGAL? Is it BINDING? Or is it TREASON? Read carefully (it is lengthy) and decide for yourselves.
Quite by accident one night, I came across references to the document called "THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA ORGANIC ACT OF 1871", and as I followed link after link, and finally found the "teamlaw.net" site, I had to agree that we've had the wool pulled over our little SHEEPLE eyes AGAIN, but in a REALLY BIG way!
I hope you'll see what I mean...

"'The District of Columbia Organic Act of 1871 describes its venue as: “all that part of the territory of the United States included within the limits of the District of Columbia”. The District of Columbia was originally provided for in the Constitution for the United States of America (Sept. 17, 1787) at Article 1 Section 8, specifically in the last two clauses. Then, on July 16, 1790, in accord with the provisions of those clauses, the Territory was formed in the District of Columbia Act, wherein the “ten mile square” territory was permanently created and made the permanent location of the country’s government; that is to say, the “territory” so provided for included both the land and its actual government. Under that Act, Congress also made the President the civic leader of the local government in all matters in said Territory. Then, on February 27, 1801, under the second District of Columbia Act, two counties were formed and their respective officers and district judges were appointed. Further, the established town governments of Alexandria, Georgetown and Washington were recognized as constituted and placed under the laws of the District, its judges, etc. The United States Supreme Court has repeatedly called this act the “District of Columbia Organization Act” or the “Charter Act of the District of Columbia” and recognized it as the incorporation of the “municipality” known as the “District of Columbia”. Then, on March 3, 1801, a Supplementary Act to that last Act, noted here, added the authority that the Marshals appointed by the respective District Court Judges collectively form a County Commission with the authority to appoint all officers as may be needed in similarity to the respective State officials in the states whence the counties Washington and Alexandria came, those being Maryland and Virginia, respectively.
According to the United States Supreme Court those charter acts (first acts) were the official incorporation of the formal government of the District of Columbia as chartered by Congress in accord with the Constitution’s provision. Again, the Supreme Court called that body of government “a corporation”, with the right to sue and be sued. Since 1801, The District of Columbia has been consistently recognized as a “municipal corporation” with its own government.

The first paragraph of the District of Columbia Organic Act of 1871; where:
Congress wrote:
That all that part of the territory of the United States included within the limits of the District of Columbia be, and the same is hereby, created into a government by the name of the District of Columbia, by which name it is hereby constituted a body corporate for municipal purposes … and exercise all other powers of a municipal corporation.

Knowing the government of the District of Columbia was already “created into a government” and was so formed into a municipal incorporation in 1801 under the District of Columbia Acts, we wonder, even with Congress’ constitutional authority to pass any law within the ten mile square of the District, how do you create, or incorporate, for the first time a municipal government that has already been in existence as a municipal corporation for over 70 years? The obvious answer is, “It’s impossible!” There is no way to pass an “Organic Act” when the “Charter Act” is already in place, because the two words (organic and charter) have the same meaning—The First Act. Even Congress cannot change history; though historians can make it appear to change by rewriting it for those unwilling to study the past from the actual records of the past. The records speak for themselves only if we study them.

When you consider the historical facts, the only meaning left for the terms given in the opening paragraph of the District of Columbia Organic Act of 1871 (and that which follows) is, the municipal corporation that was created is a private corporation owned by the actual government. Further, the only government created in that Act was the same form of private government any private corporation has within the operation of its own corporate construct. Thus, we call it Corp. U.S. We also note Congress reserved the right, granted them in the Constitution, to complete dictatorial authority over their Corp. U.S. construct, without regard for its internal operations or officers. Thus, Congress can use it within the ten mile square as they see fit.'"

<<"We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."
— Preamble of the original "organic" Constitution

The date is February 21, 1871 and the Forty-First Congress is in session. I refer you to the "Acts of the Forty-First Congress," Section 34, Session III, chapters 61 and 62. On this date in the history of our nation, Congress passed an Act titled: "An Act To Provide A Government for the District of Columbia." This is also known as the "Act of 1871."
The Act of 1871 was passed at a vulnerable time in America. Our nation was essentially bankrupt — weakened and financially depleted in the aftermath of the Civil War. The Civil War itself was nothing more than a calculated "front" for some pretty fancy footwork by corporate backroom players. It was a strategic maneuver by European interests (the international bankers) who were intent upon gaining a stranglehold on the neck (and the coffers) of America.
In essence, this Act formed the corporation known as THE UNITED STATES. Note the capitalization, because it is important. This corporation, owned by foreign interests, moved right in and shoved the original "organic" version of the Constitution into a dusty corner. With the "Act of 1871," our Constitution was defaced in the sense that the title was block-capitalized and the word "for" was changed to the word "of" in the title. The original Constitution drafted by the Founding Fathers, was written in this manner:

"The Constitution for the united states of America".

The altered version reads: "THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA". It is the corporate constitution. It is NOT the same document you might think it is. The corporate constitution operates in an economic capacity and has been used to fool the People into thinking it is the same parchment that governs the Republic. It absolutely is not.
What the Congress did with the passage of the Act of 1871 was create an entirely new document, a constitution for the government of the District of Columbia. The kind of government THEY created was a corporation. The new, altered Constitution serves as the constitution of the corporation, and not that of America. Think about that for a moment.
his corporate constitution does not benefit the Republic. It serves only to benefit the corporation. It does nothing good for you or me — and it operates outside of the original Constitution. Instead of absolute rights guaranteed under the "organic" Constitution, we now have "relative" rights or privileges. One example of this is the Sovereign's right to travel, which has been transformed under corporate government policy into a "privilege" which we must be licensed to engage in. This operates outside of the original Constitution.

So, Congress committed TREASON against the People, who were considered Sovereign under the Declaration of Independence and the organic Constitution. When we consider the word "Sovereign," we must think about what the word means.
According to Webster's Dictionary, "sovereign" is defined as: 1. chief or highest; supreme. 2. Supreme in power, superior in position to all others. 3. Independent of, and unlimited by, any other, possessing or entitled to, original and independent authority or jurisdiction.

In other words, our government was created by and for "sovereigns" — the free citizens who were deemed the highest authority. Only the People can be sovereign — remember that. Government cannot be sovereign. We can also look to the Declaration of Independence, where we read: "government is subject to the consent of the governed" — that's supposed to be us, the sovereigns. Do you feel like a sovereign nowadays? I don't.

It doesn't take a rocket scientist or a constitutional historian to figure out that this is not what is happening in our country today. Government in these times is NOT subject to the consent of the governed. Rather, the governed are subject to the whim and greed of the corporation, which has stretched its tentacles beyond the ten-mile-square parcel of land known as the District of Columbia — encroaching into every state of the Republic. Mind you, the corporation has NO jurisdiction outside of the District of Columbia. They just want you to think it does.

You see, you are presumed to know the law. This is ironic because as a people, we are taught basically nothing about the law in school. We are made to memorize obscure factoids and paragraphs here and there, such as the Preamble, and they gloss over the Bill of Rights. But we are not told about the law. Nor do our corporate government schools delve into the Constitution in any great depth. After all, they were put into place to indoctrinate and dumb down the masses — not to teach us anything. We were not told that we were sold-out to foreign interests and made beneficiaries of the debt incurred by Congress to the international bankers. For generations, American citizens have had the bulk of their earnings confiscated to pay on a massive debt that they, as a People, did not incur. There are many, many things the People have not been told. How do you feel about being made a beneficiary of somebody else's massive debt without your knowledge or consent? Are we gonna keep going along with this??

When you hear some individuals say that the Constitution is null and void, think about how our government has transformed over time from a municipal or service-oriented entity to a corporate or profit-oriented entity. We are living under the myth that this is lawful, but it is not. We are being ruled by a "de facto," or unlawful, form of government
With the passage of the Act of 1871, a series of subtle and overt deceptions were set in motion — all in conjunction and collusion with the Congress, who knowingly and deliberately sold the People down the river. Did they tell you this in government school? I doubt it. They were too busy drumming the fictional version of history into your brain — and mine. By failing to disclose what THEY did to the American People, the people became ignorant of what was happening. Over time, the Republic took it on the chin to the point of a knockdown. With the surrender of their gold in 1933, the People essentially surrendered their law. I don't suppose you were taught THAT in school either. That's because our REAL history is hidden from us. This is the way Roman Civil Law works — and our form of governance today is based upon Roman Civil Law and Admiralty/Maritime Law — better known as the "Divine Right of Kings" and "Law of the Seas", respectively. This explains a lot. Roman Civil Law was fully established in the original colonies even before our nation began and is also known as private international law.

The government which was created for the District of Columbia via the Act of 1871 operates under Private International Law, and not Common Law, which was the law of the Constitutional Republic. This is very important to note since it impacts all Americans in concrete ways. You must recognize that private international law is only applicable within the District of Columbia and NOT in the other states of the Union. The various arms of the corporation are known as "departments" such as the Judiciary, Justice and Treasury. You recognize those names? Yes, you do! But they are not what you assume them to be. These "departments" all belong to the corporation known as THE UNITED STATES. They do NOT belong to you and me under the corporate constitution and its various amendments that operate outside of the Constitutional Republic.

I refer you to the UNITED STATES CODE (note the capitalization, indicating the corporation, not the Republic) Title 28 3002 (15) (A) (B) (C). It is stated unequivocally that the UNITED STATES is a corporation [see note]. Realize, too, that the corporation is not a separate and distinct entity from the government. It IS the government. YOUR government. This is extremely important. I refer to this as the "corporate empire of the UNITED STATES," which operates under Roman Civil Law outside of the Constitution. How do you like being ruled by a cheesy, sleazy corporation? You'll ask your Congressperson about this, you say? HA!!

Congress is fully aware of this deception. You must be made aware that the members of Congress do NOT work for you and me. Rather, they work for the Corporation known as THE UNITED STATES. Is this really any surprise to you? This is why we can't get them to do anything on our behalf or to answer to us — as in the case with the illegal income tax — among many other things. Contrary to popular belief, they are NOT our civil servants. They do NOT work for us. They are the servants of the corporate government and carry out its bidding. Period.
Your legislators will not apprise you of this information. You are presumed to know the law. THEY know you don't know the law, or your history for that matter, because this information has not been taught to you. No concerted effort has been made to inform you. As a Sovereign, you are entitled to full disclosure of the facts. As a slave, you are entitled to nothing other than what the corporation decides to "give" you — at a price. Be wary of accepting so-called "benefits" of the corporation of the UNITED STATES. Aren't you enslaved enough already?
I said (above) that you are presumed to know the law. Still, it matters not if you don't in the eyes of the corporation. Ignorance of the law is not considered an excuse. It is your responsibility and your obligation as an American to learn about the law and how it applies to you. THEY count on the fact that most people are too uninterested or distracted or lazy to do so. The People have been mentally conditioned to allow the alleged government to do their thinking for them. We need to turn that around if we are to save our Republic before it is too late.
The UNITED STATES government is basically a corporate instrument of the international bankers. This means YOU are owned by the corporation from birth to death. The corporate UNITED STATES also holds ownership of all your assets, your property, and even your children. Does this sound untrue? Think long and hard about all those bills you pay, all those various taxes and fines and licenses you must pay for. Yes, they've got you by the pockets. Actually, they've had you by the ass for as long as you've been alive. In your heart, you know it's true. Don't believe any of this? Read up on the 14th Amendment. Check out how "free" you really are.
With the Act of 1871 and subsequent legislation such as the purportedly ratified 14th Amendment, our once-great nation of Sovereigns has been subverted from a Republic to a democracy. As is the case under Roman Civil Law, our ignorance of the facts has led to our silence. Our silence has been construed as our consent to become beneficiaries of a debt we did not incur. The Sovereign People have been deceived for hundreds of years into thinking they remain free and independent, when in actuality we continue to be slaves and servants of the corporation.

Treason was committed against the People in 1871 by the Congress. This could have been corrected through the decades by some honest men (assuming there were some), but it was not, mainly due to lust for money and power. Nothing new there. Are we to forgive and justify this crime against the People? You have lost more freedom than you may realize due to corporate infiltration of the so-called government. We will lose more unless we turn away from a democracy that is the direct road to disaster — and restore our Constitutional Republic.

Actually in the U.S. Code the term "United States" is said to have any of three meanings:
US CODE: Title 28,3002. Definitions (archived here: http://web.archive.org/web/20060708190425/http://assembler.law.cornell.edu/uscode/html/uscode28/usc_sec_28_00003002----000-.html )

(15) "United States" means —
(A) a Federal corporation;
(B) an agency, department, commission, board, or other entity of the United States; or
(C) an instrumentality of the United States. >>There are several fair videos on youtube on this topic, but I decided not to offer any of them here.

Saturday, December 29, 2012

A report released in June by the US Government Accountability Office explained how the Federal Reserve divvied up more than $4 trillion in low-interest loans after the fiscal crisis of 2008, but that shouldn’t be a surprise. Maybe now Congress will get serious about auditing those crooks? Naaaah, surely not! They couldn't force themselves to pull their lips off the FED's backside long enough for that!
It's been SIX months since this broke , and look how quiet it's been kept!

More than $4 trillion in near zero-interest Federal Reserve loans and other financial assistance went to the banks and businesses of at least 18 current and former Federal Reserve regional bank directors in the aftermath of the 2008 financial collapse, according to records made public by Sen. Bernie Sanders. I don't see the rest of the Senate posting anything!

<<A Sanders
provision in the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform Act required the Government Accountability Office to investigate potential conflicts of interest. The Oct. 19, 2011 report by the
non-partisan investigative arm of Congress laid out the findings, but did not
name names. >>

SANDERS DID! See the full disclosure by Sanders here:THE FED FEEDS ITS OWN
[http://www.sanders.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/061212DimonIsNotAlone.pdf}

<<"This report
reveals the inherent conflicts of interest that exist at the Federal
Reserve. At a time when small businesses could not get affordable loans
to create jobs, the Fed was providing trillions in secret loans to some of the
largest banks and corporations in America that were well represented on the
boards of the Federal Reserve Banks. These conflicts must end," Sanders
said.
The GAO study
found that allowing members of the banking industry to both elect and serve on
the Federal Reserve's board of directors creates "an appearance of a conflict
of interest" and poses "reputational risks" to the Federal Reserve
System.
In Dimon's
case, JPMorgan received some $391 billion of the $4 trillion in emergency Fed
funds at the same time his bank was used by the Fed as a clearinghouse for
emergency lending programs.>>

<<“At a time when small businesses could not get affordable loans to create jobs, the Fed was providing trillions in secret loans to some of the largest banks and corporations in America that were well represented on the boards of the Federal Reserve Banks,” adds Mr. Sanders. “These conflicts must end."
Sanders on May
22 introduced legislation to prohibit banking industry and business executives from serving as directors
of the 12 Federal Reserve regional banks.>>
Do follow the link "legislation" above! You'll find this stated in that document:"'The Federal Reserve System does not publicly disclose when it grants a waiver to its conflict of interest regulations.'"
It grants WAIVERS to commit fraud against the American people, to bail out its own board members? We couldn't get away with that! WHY should the FED?
Will Congress regulate the FED after this?
ha ha ha ha ha!
No! NOT UNLESS WE, THE PEOPLE MAKE THEM!
I think that whoever called those shots, to pump TRILLIONS to their own, should be prosecuted and serve jail time! I mean, at the height of the financial crisis that crippled our economy and gave us rampant unemployment and home foreclosures for those unable to receive assistance, the FED was taking care of their banker buddies? Doesn't that tell us what's been going on all along? This is just more of the same!

<<“Jamie Dimon, the Chairman a CEO of JPMorgan Chase, has served on the Board of Directors at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York since 2007,” the report mentions. “During the financial crisis, the Fed provided JPMorgan Chase with $391 billion in total financial assistance. JPMorgan Chase was also used by the Fed as a clearinghouse for the Fed’s emergency lending programs.”>>

TALK ABOUT CONFLICT OF INTEREST!

One year later, the report notes, the Fed handed Dimon’s bank ANOTHER $29 billion to help acquire Bear Stearns. In the case of General Electric’s Immelt, Sanders recalls that the Fed handed over $16 billion in low-interest financing to GE during the five-year span that the company’s CEO sat on the Federal Reserve’s board of directors.>>

Other Fed members that benefited by the bailout include officials at the top of Citigroup, Lehman Brothers, SunTrust Banks and PNC, among others.

IS THAT OKAY WITH YOU? DO YOU THINK THAT'S JUST WONDERFUL? IF NOT, TELL YOUR ELECTED FAILURES TO AUDIT THE FED, AND REGULATE IT TO THE MAX!PROSECUTING THE FED FOR THIS WOULD SURE BE NICE TO SEE, EH?

Representatives
Ron Paul of Texas, and Alan Grayson of Florida (I am SO glad he's back
on the Hill) have grilled the FED time and time again...These two videos
show what ALL Congressmen should be doing. I think almost all the rest
must lack the intestinal fortitude to do so. After all, Congress isn't
called the HARLOT OF WALL STREET for nothing!

"I am convinced that there are more threats to American liberty within
the 10 mile radius of my office on Capitol Hill than there are on the
rest of the globe." -- Ron Paul

Well, Ron, right now our biggest threat is the entire Congress, who haven't a flipping clue what to do to keep us from going over that mythical cliff! Should we call in the unicorns?

That bunch of charlatans and Wall Street's whores have obviously decided it's best to do not much of anything in order to avoid looking like the self-serving scum they are to their lowly constituents! Relax, Capitol Gang, we already know you for what you are, you sold-out vermin! In both houses up there, we may have a half dozen who are not on the take, on the make sucking up to Wall Street, and who aren't hell-bent and determined to see America BANKRUPT! They've long ago handed the reins to lobbyists, bureaucratic 'match-makers', and to that cut-throat FED, handed over the entire finances of our nation to that elitist private banking group of mainly foreign wankers who have but ONE true skill...COUNTERFEITING! They know how to print money and do so with a passion. They've brought many nations to their knees, this greedy bunch of 'gentry', and America has been on their hit list since the 1800s!
And the "god" of our lousy financial 'experts'? Keynesian economics...you know, fast fix, trickle-down, malarkey, baloney, lunacy...aka, voodoo economics, remember that?
What is the Keynesian THEORY of a fiscally sound entity, like, oh, maybe a GOVERNMENT?
Basically, a SHORT-TERM BAND-AID, applied when needed, and it's ALWAYS needed.
Listen to the 'wisdom' of it:
“But the long
run is a misleading guide to current affairs. In the long run we
are all dead. Economists set themselves too easy, too useless a
task if in tempestuous seasons they can only tell us that when the
storm is long past the ocean will be flat again.”
~ John Maynard Keynes, founder of Keynesian economics.
Right on, Johnny! You got that much right! Thanks to you, America is indeed "dead in the long run", because your way doesn't work!
"GO TO THE ANTS, THOU SLUGGARDS!" They can teach you LONG TERM!

The
Keynesian economists want to forever focus on the short term. Sure it would be convenient if
you could just spend a bunch of money, lay out a "stimulus" and make the economy get
well, but it’s not that simple, and it will never happen! Our economic 'gurus' have been using Keynesian 'logic' for as long as we've kept time in America almost and look what that's done!
Once more, let us chant:"Insanity can be defined as doing the same thing over and over, hoping for a different outcome."
Our financial wizards have not learned anything, obviously, and they've been diving over that "fiscal cliff" year after year, BOTH parties, ALL presidents, EVERY new administration, each session of Congress, the same tired worthless effort to make it all come out better, hoping THIS time will be magic, maybe THIS time Keynes will appear and make all the horror go away.
It is NOT going to happen!

Keynesians maintain the perspective that you can
hit the economy a few times with a cattle prod and get society back
to full employment. Really? When id that work? Remember that so-called “cash-for-clunkers”
program? Maybe it created some new car sales for a month or two,
but it had no lasting impact. Bad economics hasn't been the answer! Walk away from the cattle prods!

The opposing "school" of economic theory, aka the 'Chicago School', makes it clear where the Keynesian policies hit the rocks and sink. Their two theories are the “permanent income
hypothesis” and the theory of “rational expectations.”
The “permanent income hypothesis” was how Milton Friedman
defined the findings of his 'research' on consumer spending behavior . The MIT Dictionary of Economics defines the
permanent income hypothesis : “The hypothesis that the consumption
of the individual (or household) depends on his (or its)
permanent income. Permanent income may be thought of as
the income an individual expects to derive from his work and
holdings of wealth during his lifetime.”
Keynes was
not known for his research or empirical efforts. I guess he just wasn't 'moved' to bother. Maybe that's why it is such a sorry excuse for creating a PROSPEROUS economy? Keynesianism is
definitely nowhere near an evidence-based model of how the economy ACTUALLY works. Repeat: To the best of my knowledge, Keynes did no empirical studies. Friedman was a far
more diligent researcher and data collector than was Keynes. And it shows!
The Keynesian disregard for the need of evidence is crystal clear in their
advocacy for MORE stimulus spending while making certain there is LESS incoming revenue [such as having the mega-rich pay taxes?] even after the blatantly obvious
clue before them that what’s already been spent did not fix it! At a minimum, they could offer some sort of valid explanation for why it hasn’t worked. Don’t hold your breath, nor bet any money on THAT happening because they simply don't know why, their minds can't wrap around the FAILURE!

On the opposing team, Robert Lucas won a Nobel Prize for Economics for his theory of “rational expectations.” It essentially states that
“individuals use all the available and relevant information when
taking a view about the future.” (MIT Dictionary of Modern
Economics)
Lucas' hypothesis is beautifully simple: It states that individuals take into account their best guesses
about the future when they make decisions. That nice, simple
concept has profound implications!
Lucas thinks that people are relatively deliberate and 'sophisticated' in how they
make economic choices! Yes, even us 'little people'! Keynesians and their fans (like Congress, the FED, our Treasury Department?) apparently think individuals are short-sighted and
very simple-minded.
American economy is based on VOLUNTARY exchange, and voluntary
exchange is even more fundamental to our economy than
'the market'. Markets merely bring buyers and
sellers together, but the primary purpose of a market
is to make voluntary exchange possible. Isn't that amazingly simplistic! Markets rely on
carrots rather than sticks, rewards rather than punishment. The participants, therefore, need to be induced to move in certain desired
directions rather than simply commanded to do so. This is the reason why incentives are so important in economics. If it wasn't for voluntary exchange, incentives wouldn’t matter much at all. What actually
motivates people and how do they make choices? Now if you want to change
behaviors in a voluntary exchange economy, you must change
incentives. Keynesian policies don't take that very essential
step.Our federal government’s share of the GDP (Gross Domestic Product) has gone from 19% to 24% in the past 4 years. A
larger government share of GDP REQUIRES higher taxes but higher taxes can retard economic
growth because of their impact on incentives. The disincentive
effect of higher taxes shows why BIG government is much
costlier than it may appear.
Keynesianism is popular with
'liberals', because it blends well with their unquenchable thirst for
expansive government. It doesn’t work for the economy but it works
for them. That is the "Brotherhood of ME", or of the "good ol' boys".
According to columnist Ezra Klein,
“Lawrence Summers and Christina Romer were two of the most
influential Keynesians in the country. Obama didn’t just have a
team of Keynesians. He had a Keynesian all-star team.”
Now Obama has a Keynesian all-gone team. It will
be a brighter day for the country when Keynesianism itself is gone
for good. We can dream!

Ron Paul advocated AUSTRIAN economics. This classic theory says that economic analysis is universally applicable and that
the appropriate unit of analysis is man and his choices. These choices, Carl Menger wrote, are determined by individual subjective preferences and the
margin on which decisions are made.The logic of choice, he believed, is the essential building block to the development of a universally valid economic theory. He offers propositions: #1: Man, with his purposes and plans, is
the beginning of all economic analysis. Only individuals make choices;
collective entities do not choose. The primary task of economic analysis
is to make economic phenomena intelligible by basing it on individual
purposes and plans; the secondary task of economic analysis is to trace
out the unintended consequences of individual choices.
#2 Focus analytical attention on the exchange
relationships that emerge in the market, the bargaining that
characterizes the exchange process, and the institutions within which
exchange takes place.#3 In the 'human sciences', the elimination of purposes
and plans results in purging the science of human action of its subject
matter. In the human sciences, the “facts” of the world are what the
actors think and believe.The meaning that individuals place on things,
practices, places, and people determines how they will orient themselves
in making decisions. The goal of the sciences of human action is
intelligibility, not prediction. The human sciences can achieve this
goal because "we are what we study", or because we possess knowledge from
within, whereas the natural sciences cannot pursue a goal of
intelligibility because they rely on knowledge from without. We can
understand purposes and plans of other human actors because we ourselves
are human actors.#4 Utility and costs are subjective. All economic phenomena are filtered through the human mind. Just as both blades of a scissors cut a piece of paper, so value and costs determine price, but costs are also subjective because they are
themselves determined by the value of alternative uses of scarce
resources. Both blades of the scissors do indeed cut the paper, but the blade of supply is determined by individuals’ subjective valuations.The cost of any action is the value of the
highest-valued alternative forgone in taking that action. Since the
forgone action is, by definition, never taken, when one decides, one
weighs the expected benefits of an activity against the expected
benefits of alternative activities.

Well, that's the top four, but if you want to read the other propositions and see if they don't run along the lines of how INTELLIGENT PEOPLE handle money, go here:COMMON SENSE ECONOMICS[http://www.econlib.org/library/Enc/AustrianSchoolofEconomics.html]

If we had all managed our finances like the guys we allow to handle the nation's economy, we'd have never had anything to show for working our tushes off all our lives!It's the Keynesian logic that the American bankers were foisting on borrowers that caused that BIG bubble to burst back during Bush 2's regime. I don't know about you, but if someone I handed MY finances to began embezzling and driving me into bankruptcy, I'd FIRE them the minute I found out! And I'd prosecute them with extreme prejudice!

And about those "entitlements"! We would have never had those except for Woodrow Wilson and FDR who began wrapping America in the warm and fuzzy blankets of social welfare and a central bank that had its own agenda on bringing Americans under subjection. Something many don't know is that organizations such as
business corporations, local governments, and even political parties have special "entitlements" under certain programs. THAT has to cost a bundle!My main beef is with Congress incessantly screaming about Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and Veterans "benefits". If the federal government hadn't CREATED those things, and if millions of citizens hadn't been FORCED to pay into the first two on that list for GENERATIONS now, and if the Feds hadn't gotten INTEREST on those forced payments for decades, they might have a genuine gripe when they balk at PAYING IT BACK! I can scarcely wrap my mind around HOW MUCH INTEREST has been drawn off what workers have paid into Medicare/Social Security by TAXES on their earnings! Whoever came up with that plan should be dug up and re-buried face down in a manure heap! As for VETERANS, if they've been to war while Congress sat on their cushioned seats and created pork barrel ideas for spending our money, the money of those veterans, and if, by the grace of God they SURVIVED, who will argue that they deserve NOTHING, after they were paid less than the most junior member of that fat-cat Congress, who, by the way, gets a LIFETIME check even if they "serve" just a wee bit of time up there filling their pockets with payola? And those greasy politicians have the BEST health care plan money can buy! I wish our elderly and our veterans and our CHILDREN had that kind of plan!As to the other 'entitlements'...well, if you CREATE A WELFARE STATE, expect to pay for that! Congress did it, pushed into it as they may have been back during FDR's days of lunacy [they probably didn't bother to READ THE BILL!) so why carp about a self-created MONSTER you have to FEED? Either get rid of the monster, or feed it and shut up! OR, here's a wild thought...stop creating UNEMPLOYMENT by doing insane things like NAFTA accomplished by SENDING AMERICAN JOBS OVERSEAS! Stop bankrolling UNDECLARED, CONCOCTED WARS! Stop spending for a military which you've kept afield for decades! That bankrupted ROME, and it's been bankrupting us since Bush 1 got the hots for Iraq!

Now, citizens, also realize YOU have been complicit in all this! Yes, YOU have ALLOWED things to slide into the sewer by your apathy and your outright STUPIDITY, by being dumbed-down, by falling asleep at the wheel, by ceasing to make YOUR desires known and then FAILING TO IMPOSE THE WILL OF WE, THE PEOPLE on the harlots you elected to run the show in D.C.! By doing NOTHING, by laying down (or bending over?) for this, YOU have been aiding and abetting these CRIMINAL, UNCONSTITUTIONAL acts, these philanderings, these acts of TREASON!You may choose to continue to do so, or you can choose to get together with all the rest of us, Democrats, Republicans, Independents, Libertarians, ALL of us, and toss aside those ludicrous tags that have kept America divided for two centuries and counting, and march up to the HILL and DO something! Posting your silly cartoons and useless slogans to your Facebook page, or Tweeting how much you hate your politicians, or TALKING about it in online forums...TALK WON'T FIX IT! WE MUST FINALLY GET OFF OUR DUFFS AND DO SOMETHING!

We won't perish if we "go over the fiscal cliff, trust me. It may be a good thing! After all, if we suffered some natural, world-wide catastrophe today, those of us who remained would just brush off the dirt, take stock of things, and start over, right?

My maternal grandfather had a 'saying'..."Hold their feet to the fire THEY built until they get enough of fire. They'll be careful about fire-building from then on!" I didn't really comprehend what he was saying until I was almost 50. I have a really good grasp on it NOW!Congress built this cliff...let them fall off it! Maybe next go, they won't build such a high one?Keynesian economics has FAILED. Tell your Congressional whore-dog to stop selling out and get back to work FIXING this thing....OR ELSE...then DO SOMETHING EXTRAORDINARY! Put your feet on the ground and take this whole thing back!WE, THE PEOPLE are the REAL bosses! ACT LIKE IT! FIRE THE BUMS, FIND GOOD REPLACEMENTS! And send your electeds print-outs on common sense economics! They seem blissfully unaware that there is a BETTER way, one that WORKS!

In my previous blog, I wrote that, "' IF THE FEINSTEIN BILL PASSES, THOSE WHO NOW OWN "ASSAULT RIFLES"
& CLIPS THAT HOLD MORE THAN 10 ROUNDS WILL HAVE TO TURN THEM IN, NO
GRANDFATHERING-IN! THEY WILL BE ILLEGAL TO OWN, PERIOD! I'"

Some have taken me to task on this, saying that the present proposed legislation allows current owners to REGISTER their weapons, pay the fee, and go on with life.
Let me present you with one or two quotes since THE LAST TIME we had a ban on these weapons, and some facts about ADDENDUMS, and how few read entire bills before voting on them. The CURRENT proposed legislation will go through as many CHANGES as the bill-makers deem necessary, and the legalese used in these bills taxes even those schooled in law, those who ACTUALLY READ THEM. Congressmen, by their own admission, seldom, if ever read those proposed pieces of legislation! The current proposal WILL NOT be what passes Congress, I can guarantee you that.
You think about these and see what you come up with.

<<When the ’94 ban went into effect, everything that had been
manufactured to that point was grandfathered in. So if you already owned
a firearm covered by the ban or a large capacity magazine, you could
keep it, sell it or whatever, but you couldn’t purchase any newly
manufactured magazines or guns that were covered by the law.
Manufacturers were required to mark newly made weapons and mags as ”For LE/Military use only” or words to that effect.>>

Similar articles, many articles, pointed out the fact that "grandfathered weapons" would be readily available to CRIMINALS.
In the 2004 "Banning Assault Weapons: A Legal Primer (available here: http://smartgunlaws.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Banning_Assault_Weapons_A_Legal_Primer_8.05_entire.pdf ) we read what ALL gun control advocates think about the 1994 act that ALLOWED grandfathering.

<<Unfortunately, even in the case of firearms as lethal as assault weapons, Congress has not yet established a loophole-free, permanent ban to ensure that these weapons are not available for civilian use.
LCAV ...empowers advocates and governments to pursue effective measures that are legally defensible.
Realizing that the federal ban dealt with just some of the assault weapons being produced or imported-and did nothing about the several million assault weapons already in civilian hands,LCAV has continued to support efforts to strengthen assault weapon bans at the local, state, and federal levels.>>

Now, this little group is but one of thousands out there backed by very big money and very good lawyers who seek to TOTALLY remove over 120 NAMED weapons from civilian hands. That doesn't include, as Feinstein puts it, the "'Certain other semiautomatic rifles, handguns, shotguns that can accept a detachable magazine and have one or more military characteristics; and semi-automatic rifles and handguns with a fixed magazine that can accept more than 10 rounds" which Feinstein adds to her pot.
Can you see that this language is already FULL of sweeping generalizations? "Open to INTERPRETATION", as always, this can easily be expanded to anything, or everything some attorney, some judge INTERPRETS as falling into these categories. We've seen every year how "INTERPRETATIONS" of the Constitution and long-held laws have robbed us of previous RIGHTS...seen freedom and privacy go right out the window with the Patriot Act and the NDAA.
Can we honestly and intelligently dare to imagine that the Feinstein bill will be the ONLY one, so far, that will not be subject to new definitions and interpretations by those opposed to gun ownership in America, who want NO guns in homes, period, or that it will glide through both houses of Congress unchanged, unamended, with no NEW 'definitions' riding on it?

Let me ask you...would YOU, if you wanted to remove the right of the PEOPLE to keep and bear arms, openly advertise that's what you mean to do? Would you offer a bill that INITIALLY states that is the goal? If you've tracked Congressional bills AT ALL, surely you've seen how some start out as 'harmless', as "good for the people", go through several 'committees', several 'revisions', an addendum here, another one there, and come out looking like monstrosities that, SURPRISE!, have robbed us of rights, of privacy, of prosperity, of even our right to legal defense in some instances, should we be declared "enemies of the state/potential terrorists". If you track bills you HAVE seen that quite often! TOO LATE, when they're already passed by Congress and signed by the Prez, do we see what's gone on! TOO LATE we read what's happened to us while we were NOT reading bills and NOT forcing our Congress to read the entire bill and make crystal clear what's IN those bills BEFORE they vote on them!

Let me ask you something else: Have you ever wondered WHY it became mandatory for us to REGISTER firearms? CRIMINALS NEVER REGISTER THEIRS! The Congress surely knows that criminals will NEVER comply with ANY laws, right? So why are LAW-ABIDING CITIZENS
required to register guns? There can be but ONE logical answer...so that our government knows where OUR guns are, who among us has such weapons, so they can keep track of how many of us are armed...and therefore DANGEROUS.
You don't think John Q. and Jane Citizen are considered "potential terrorists" because they are armed, because they support the Constitutional right to be armed? Then you haven't read this:
"Hot Spots of Terrorism and Other Crimes in the United States, 1970 to 2008"

(find it here: http://start.umd.edu/start/publications/research_briefs/LaFree_Bersani_HotSpotsOfUSTerrorism.pdf )
Several websites went a bit ballistic on what is NOW considered "potential terrorists", but I liked the brevity of the one done by The Blaze, so here's the link to that article: http://www.theblaze.com/stories/homeland-security-funded-study-lists-people-reverent-of-individual-liberty-as-extreme-right-wing-terrorists/

<<Are you “reverent of individual liberty”? Are you “suspicious of
centralized federal authority?” Do you think there is a “grave threat to
national sovereignty and/or personal liberty?”Well, then you fall into the category of “extreme right-wing” terrorist, according to a new study out of the University of Maryland, which was funded in part by the Department of Homeland Security. The study...was conducted by the National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism
and Responses to Terrorism (START) at the university. The organization
has received roughly $12 million from DHS and is set to get another $3.6 million in future funding. It is also listed as one of DHS’s “Centers for Excellence” on the agency’s website.
The study says right-wing extremists are “groups that believe that
one’s personal and/or national ‘way of life’ is under attack and is
either already lost or that the threat is imminent.”Further, right-wing extremist groups “believe in the need to be
prepared” by taking part in “paramilitary preparations and training or
survivalism.” Groups may also be “fiercely nationalistic” and
“suspicious of centralized federal authority.”
Other terrorist groups include “entho-nationalist/separatists” (think
New Black Panther Party) and “single issue” organizations, such as
“anti-abortion” advocates.
Further, taking a look at the START dataset’s codebook, (click on that for the link tohttp://www.scribd.com/doc/96751145/Profiles-of-Perpetrators-of-Terrorism-in-the-United-States-Codebook) two subgroups of “right-wing extremism” were identified as “gun rights” and “tax protest,” according to PJ Media.>>

BUT WAIT, THERE'S WORSE!
A Department of Justice-funded TRAINING MANUAL, entitled 'Terrorism Training For Law Enforcement'and marked
“law enforcement sensitive” tells all law enforcement agencies what to be on the lookout for...and YOU are most likely on THAT list!

Under the category of “Special-Interest/Single Issue
Terrorism,” it characterizes people who hold political opinions
that “represent a fairly popular point of view” as terrorists.
Anti-abortion activists are also listed as terrorists under this
category.

It also lists people who are “anti-genetic engineering” as terrorists. Presumably, that includes people who are concerned about a new study which found that rats fed with genetically-engineered Monsanto corn suffered premature deaths.

Apparently, the Department of Justice considers
Americans who have a good grasp of the Bill of Rights, are concerned
about the food they eat, those who politically oppose the United
Nations, and even those who hold “fairly popular” opinions, to be likely
terrorists. Perhaps the DOJ is drawing inspiration from the Department
of Defense (DoD), who in 2009 characterized the First Amendment right to
protest as “low level terrorism”.

These documents are by no means the only instance in
which displaying political bumper stickers has been characterized as a
suspicious and potentially terrorist activity by the federal government.

Ron Paul supporters, libertarians, people
who display bumper stickersof same, people who own gold, or even people who fly
a U.S. flag, are labeled as potential terrorists. The DoD, in its Anti-terrorism and Force Protection Annual Refresher Training Course, advises personnel that political protest amounts to “low-level terrorism”.
ARE YOU GETTING THIS?Download your own copy of the training manual, read it ! http://publicintelligence.net/slatt-terrorism-training/

Can you grasp what this is all leading to? Our own Departments of Justice and Defense, our own Homeland Security forces see the above-named as POTENTIAL TERRORISTS! They are all agreed on this!
Will any of those departments, or even law enforcement, want to see such DANGEROUS civilians ARMED, armed AT ALL?
Will our brain-dead Congress even bother to read the bill BEFORE they vote?
“No one — not one single member of Congress — has read the (stimulus) bill that
Democratic leadership is bringing up for a vote today,” Michael Steel, said in an e-mailed statement. “We expect it may take a
while, but members of Congress, and — more importantly — the American
people have a right to know what the House is voting on.”
BUT THEY DON'T READ! It is typical for Congress members to carelessly
pass mammoth bills that none of them have read. Sometimes printed copies
aren't even available when they vote. Also members of Congress
typically do not even write the laws they pass. Most laws are written either by special interest lobbyists or by bureaucrats. And they routinely pass unpopular measures by combining them with popular bills that are completely unrelated.

Often no one knows what these bills contain, or what they really do, or what they will really cost.

Additions and deletions are made at the last minute, in secrecy.

They combine unpopular proposals with popular measures that few in Congress want to oppose. (This practice is called “log-rolling.”)

And votes are held with little debate or public notice.

"If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be." -- Thomas Jefferson

Now the NRA has listed what it calls a summary of the proposed bill, and if you read it carefully, this alone should raise the hackles on your neck:

Bans the sale, transfer, importation, or manufacturing of:
120 specifically-named firearms;Certain other semiautomatic rifles, handguns, shotguns that can accept a detachable magazine and have one or more military characteristics; and
Semiautomatic rifles and handguns with a fixed magazine that can accept more than 10 rounds.Strengthens the 1994 Assault Weapons Ban and various state bans by:
Moving from a 2-characteristic test to a 1-characteristic test;
Eliminating the easy-to-remove bayonet mounts and flash suppressors from the characteristics test; and
Banning firearms with “thumbhole stocks” and “bullet buttons” to address attempts to “work around” prior bans.
Bans large-capacity ammunition feeding devices capable of accepting more than 10 rounds.
Protects legitimate hunters and the rights of existing gun owners by:
Grandfathering weapons legally possessed on the date of enactment;
Exempting over 900 specifically-named weapons used for hunting or sporting purposes; and
Exempting antique, manually-operated, and permanently disabled weapons.Requires that grandfathered weapons be registered under the National Firearms Act, to include: Background check of owner and any transferee; Type and serial number of the firearm; Positive identification, including photograph and fingerprint; Certification from local law enforcement of identity and that possession would not violate State or local law; and Dedicated funding for ATF to implement registration.

I'm no lawyer, but even I see a lot of loopholes in this "summary", and those loopholes will be filled by things we may not like to think about, but we must!

SO, GIVEN THAT SO MANY, MANY GUN OPPONENTS, FINANCED BYSOME VERY RICH PEOPLE, POPULATED BY VERY GOOD LAWYERS, HAVE FOR DECADES TRIED TO FIND A WAY TO "'establish a loophole-free, permanent ban to ensure that these weapons are not available for civilian use", AND GIVEN THAT EMOTIONS ARE RUNNING RAMPANT AFTER THIS LATEST SHOOTING, AND GIVEN THAT CONGRESS JUST DOESN'T READ THE BILLS, AND GIVEN FEINSTEIN'S RABID DEDICATION TO A SWEEPING GUN BAN, LET US ADD THAT OBAMA IS SERVING HIS LAST 4 YEARS, AND THAT THE ATTITUDE OF MOST, IF NOT ALL, 2ND TERM PRESIDENTS IS "ALL AHEAD FULL AND DAMN THE TORPEDOES!", SO THAT ANYTHING HE CAN DO TO CARRY OUT HIS OWN PERSONAL AGENDA AGAINST GUN-OWNERSHIP IS ONLY GOING TO BE "GRAVY" FOR HIM, I STAND BY MY REMARK THAT WE WILL MOST LIKELY SEE PEOPLE WHO CURRENTLY OWN "ASSAULT WEAPONS" BE REQUIRED TO TURN THEM IN, NOT JUST REGISTER THEM. WHO WANTS TO REGISTER WEAPONS THAT WILL MAKE CERTAIN ALL WHO OWN THEM ARE ADDED TO A TERRORIST WATCH LIST BY LAW ENFORCEMENT ANYWAY, EH?
IF THE FEINSTEIN GUN BAN DOESN'T EVENTUALLY TURN INTO A TOTAL ASSAULT WEAPONS BAN, WE'LL MEET BACK HERE AND I'LL EAT CROW.
CALL ME IRRESPONSIBLE, OR ANYTHING ELSE...BUT CALL YOUR FOOLS UP ON THE HILL AND TELL THEM NOT TO VOTE FOR THIS ABOMINATION! GO SEE THEM IN PERSON, ALL WHO CAN! RAISE YOUR VOICES! STAND UP FOR YOURSELVES, FOR ALL WHO KNOW THAT OUR CONSTITUTION DOES INDEED GIVE US A RIGHT TO KEEP AND BEAR ARMS, AND THAT WHATEVER ARMS WE HAVE NOW MUST BE ALLOWED TO STAY IN OUR POSSESSION, AND CONTINUE TO BE MANUFACTURED AND SOLD IN AMERICA.
CRIMINALS NEVER OBEY LAWS! WE DO! BUT WHEN A LAW THREATENS OUR FREEDOMS AND RIGHTS, IT IS MANDATORY THAT WE EXERCISE CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE, THAT WE , AS THE ELECTORS OF OUR CONGRESS DEMAND THEY HEAR AND OBEY THE VOICES OF WE, THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES!

IF YOU LIVE IN CERTAIN AREAS OF NEW YORK STATE, YOU ARE ON THIS LIST!
AND IF THE FEINSTEIN BILL PASSES, THOSE WHO NOW OWN "ASSAULT RIFLES" & CLIPS THAT HOLD MORE THAN 10 ROUNDS WILL HAVE TO TURN THEM IN, NO GRANDFATHERING-IN! THEY WILL BE ILLEGAL TO OWN, PERIOD! IT'S AN ALL-OUT ASSAULT ON OUR GUN RIGHTS!
CALL YOUR ELECTED CONS IN CONGRESS! TAKE A STAND!
REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENED IN THE 'NEW WORLD' WHEN THE 'DISCOVERERS' HAD BETTER WEAPONRY THAN THE INDIGENOUS PEOPLE? HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF!

The Journal News of White Plains, N.Y., on Saturday posted an interactive map with the names and addresses of handgun permit owners in New York’s Westchester and Rockland counties. Gun owners — many outside of the paper’s readership — considered the map and accompanying story a provocation and the liberal declaration of war they widely feared. All of which led the conversation to take a markedly nasty turn.
The Journal News story went viral, in part because of links from conservative sites such as the Drudge Report, Memorandum.com, Breitbart.com and Instapundit.com. The listings of the journalists also went viral, generating hundreds of angry responses from gun owners already feeling under assault by talk of resurrecting the assault weapons ban. The target expanded to include the home phone number and address of Gracia Martore, chief executive of the paper’s parent group, Gannett. (“House is loaded with highly valuable easily transprtable [sic] items,’’ a poster identified only as “vintovka” wrote on a Web site for assault rifle enthusiasts, according to Gannett’s blog. “As a promonent [sic] liberal from suburban D.C. she probably goes to a lot of well publisised [sic] funerals, during which her house would be empty.”)

Scott F. Williams, a former Marine of New Jersey, calling the paper about the story, is quoted as saying: <<the newspaper’s decision to link to the database was “highly Orwellian. The implications are mind-boggling,” he said. “It’s as if gun owners are sex offenders.”>>

PUT YOURSELF IN THE PLACE OF THESE UNSUSPECTING PEOPLE WHOSE NAMES AND ADDRESSES ARE NOW AVAILABLE TO ANYONE IN THE WORLD WHO OWNS A COMPUTER. I HAVE TO WONDER HOW MANY NUTCASES ARE GOING TO GO TO THESE ADDRESSES AND DO WHAT WHEN THEY GET THERE!
NONE OF THOSE ON THIS MAP/LIST HAVE BROKEN ONE SINGLE LAW IN OWNING THESE FIREARMS! CAN'T SAY THE SAME FOR ANYONE WHO WANTS TO STALK THESE PEOPLE AND CAN, THANKS TO THE 'JOURNAL NEWS'!!!

One website took the 'Journal to task quite nicely, a lot nicer than I might have:LEGAL GUN OWNERS BRANDED BY NEWSPAPER?

<<What is the Journal News attempting to accomplish with such a map? Shall we have our children take a different way home from school knowing that Mr. Johnson down the street seeks to protect his family by legally obtaining a gun permit?
Or perhaps The Journal News would like us to round up a posse and converge on the homes of local, law abiding gun owners.
The analogy to the sex offender database is striking and, perhaps, even intentional.

No, it’s not clear what the purpose of running this article was for The Journal News. What is clear is that vast number of legal gun owners are bearing the brunt of the harsh criticism coming in the wake of a series of criminal acts committed by people who illegally obtained weapons.
Of course, in the very same article, The Journal News sought to abdicate responsibility for whatever consequences may come from aggregating the information for their readers.

'"To create the map, The Journal News submitted Freedom of Information requests for the names and addresses of all pistol permit holders in Westchester, Rockland and Putnam. By state law, the information is public record.'"

With this blanket abdication, The Journal News feels that their systematic demonization and alienation of their law abiding neighbors was warranted. They may not have broken any laws in aggregating the personal information of gun permit owners, but the ethical impropriety of doing so is obvious.

Indeed, the article even prompted one commenter on the article to ask, ”So should we start wearing yellow Stars of David so the general public can be aware of who we are??”

While that might be taking the analogy a bit far, it is worth noting that the demonization of legal gun owners has been spearheaded by the main stream media. Whether it’s Bob Costas on Sunday Night Football, David Gregory on Meet the Press, or Piers Morgan on CNN, the assault has been coordinated and vicious.

The article by The Journal News is just the latest effort by the “professional media” aimed at alienating legal gun owners from “normal Americans.” They are attempting, yet again, to unfairly and inaccurately paint their opposition as extreme. Moreover, they seek to dehumanize the concerns of those engaged in a constitutionally protected right and, perhaps, are even consciously attempting to associate a gun permit database with a sex offender registry.

After all, how likely is it that public opinion will rush to defend the rights of a sex offender?>>

ARE OTHER NEWSPAPERS GOING TO PULL SOMETHING LIKE THIS?
WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF YOUR LOCAL MEDIA LISTED YOUR NAME ON A MAP LIKE THIS?

AS FOR FEINSTEIN:
Last Sunday Feinstein laid out details of the bill on NBC

"It will ban the sale, the transfer, the importation and the
possession, not retroactively, but prospectively," and ban the sale of
clips of more than ten bullets, Feinstein said. "The purpose of this
bill is to get... weapons of war off the streets."ALL LEGAL 'ASSAULT' WEAPONS MUST BE HANDED IN!

When these guns were banned in 1994-2004 it had NO lessening effect on how many crimes were committed by CRIMINALS. It DID have an effect on LAW-ABIDING CITIZENS! AFTER the ban was lifted such crimes DECLINED! When only CRIMINALS can get these, imagine what will happen!

LIKE MOST POLITICIANS, FEINSTEIN IS A HYPOCRITE! SHE HAD A CONCEALED
CARRY PERMIT & SHE WAS "TRAINED TO USE A WEAPON"...SHE ADMITS THAT
IN THIS VIDEO! SHE LIKELY DIDN'T THINK GUNS WERE SO BAD WHEN CRIMINALS WERE AFTER HER FAMILY!

"'It is the year 2012. The American military has carried out a successful coup d'etat. Jailed and awaiting execution for resistance to the coup, a retired military officer writes to an old comrade, explaining how the coup came about.'"

The above is an excerpt from "The Origins of the American Military Coup of 2012" , by Air Force Major General Charles J. Dunlap Jr., who retired in February 2010 as the Deputy Judge Advocate General, Headquarters U.S. Air Force, Washington, D.C.
You may read the entire thing here: COUP OF 2012
http://www.carlisle.army.mil/USAWC/Parameters/Articles/1992/1992%20dunlap.pdf
Is it something to be taken seriously?
Yes, it is, even if one may be skeptical about just how likely to occur the developments that Dunlap points to really are.

It may come as a shock to you, but there have been attempted coups in the USA, and, apparently, one was quite recent. Try to keep an open mind, think INDEPENDENTLY, and put aside all "politics". This is about AMERICA, AMERICANS, ALL OF US, NOT JUST YOU, OKAY? THIS IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN LEFT WING/RIGHT WING, FOLKS!

August 28, 2012
A Georgia prosecutor and federal authorities are offering differing responses to a possible plot by the [MILITARY] group to overthrow the government and assassinate President Barack Obama.
"As far as the evidence has shown, the motive for the murders was the overthrow of the government," District Attorney Tom Durden said.
"This wasn't barroom talk," Durden said, describing the men as part of an anarchist militia. "They amassed a good bit of weapons and explosive materials."KILL OBAMA?
http://www.cnn.com/2012/08/28/justice/georgia-soldiers-plot/index.html

NON-mainstream media, aka, those NOT owned by the mega-Corporations who provide scripts to their PUPPETS, reported quite a bit more, the day before CNN spoke up. Even AP picked this up, it was posted on several websites at the time & the link ACTUALLY WORKED THEN, but doesn't now...dare we wonder why?
http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/U/US_SOLDIERS_CHARGED_PLOT?SITE=ILNOR&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT
That news item was scrubbed REALLLLY well, as even Wayback Machine can't find it.
<<Hrm.Wayback Machine doesn't have that page archived.>>
Poof! All gone!
NO BIG DEAL, OTHERS REPORTED THE SAME THING, BUT AP's PULLING THAT IS IRRITATING, WHICH IS WHY I MENTIONED IT. THIS TYPE THING IS DONE WAY TOO OFTEN FOR MY TASTE.
Here's basically what AP reported:
<<A state prosecutor said on Monday that four U.S. soldiers had secret roles in a militia that planned to kill President Obama and take over the Fort Stewart Army base in Georgia.
The four soldiers, who served at Fort Stewart, were allegedly part of a group that went by the name F.E.A.R., or Forever Enduring Always Ready. The prosecutor said the members were inked with matching tattoos, and authorities have no idea if other people were part of the group, the report said.No state or federal charges have been filed against any of the soldiers for their role in the alleged plot. The new revelations came to light in an ongoing murder case against the four soldiers in state court in Georgia.

One of the soldiers, Pfc. Michael Burnett, changed his plea in the case to guilty on charges of manslaughter and other crimes in the killing of a young couple last year and appeared prepared to testify against his fellow co-defendants.
One of the victims, Michael Roark, was a former soldier who served alongside the group at Fort Stewart and was reportedly part of the militia. The other victim was his girlfriend, Tiffany York. The remaining three soldiers, Sgt. Anthony Peden, Pvt. Isaac Aguigui and Pvt. Christopher Salmon, are still facing charges connected to the killing. Burnett testified at the court hearing in rural Long County, Ga., that the militia felt Roark had betrayed them by leaving the Army days before the killing and they saw him as “a loose end,” according to the Associated Press.

It’s not clear whether the plots to kill the president or take over Fort Stewart were advanced, but authorities have said the quartet stockpiled guns and other weapons.

Back in December when the four soldiers were first arrested, a spokesman for the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives described them as a “loosely-knit group of individuals” who teamed up to buy the weapons.>>

August 29, 2012
MSN, CNN Wire, Israel National News, The Inquisitr.com , The Age , AND The Daily Telegraph ALL reported on 8/29/12 that:"'Four US soldiers stand accused of plotting to assassinate Barack Obama and overthrow the government. The soldiers, who are members of an anarchist militia within the military, spent $87,000 on weapons. One of the soldiers has pleaded guilty to manslaughter and gang charges in the murders of former soldier Michael Roark and his 17-year-old girlfriend. A law enforcement official said the men had legally purchased at least 18 rifles and handguns in Washington and Georgia. '"

TIP OF THE ICEBERG?

<<A shocking new report prepared by the Foreign Military Intelligence Main Directorate (GRU) of the General Staff of the Armed Forces, and circulating in the Kremlin today, states that President Obama has fired one of the United States Navy’s most powerful Admirals over growing fears the US Military is planning an overthrow of his government.
According to this report, yesterday (27 October, 2012) Obama ordered the immediate removal of Rear Admiral Charles M. Gaouette from his command of the powerful Carrier Strike Group Three (CSG-3) currently located in the Middle East.
This GRU report, however, states that Admiral Gaouette’s firing by President Obama was due to this strike force commander disobeying orders when he ordered his forces on 11 September to “assist and provide intelligence for” American military forces ordered into action by US Army General Carter Ham, who was then the commander of the United States Africa Command (AFRICOM), against terrorist forces attacking the American Consulate in Benghazi, Libya.
General Ham had been in command of the initial 2011 US-NATO military intervention in Libya who, like Admiral Gaouette, was fired by Obama. And as we can, in part, read from US military insider accounts of this growing internal conflict between the White House and US Military leaders:

“The
information I heard today was that General [Carter] Ham as head of Africom received the same e-mails the White House received
requesting help/support as the attack was taking place. General Ham immediately
had a rapid response unit ready and communicated to the Pentagon that he had a
unit ready. General
Ham then received the order to stand down. His response was to screw it, he was going to help anyhow. Within 30 seconds to a
minute after making the move to respond, his second in command apprehended General
Ham and told him that he was now relieved of his command.” >>

LET'S THINK ABOUT THAT...IF WE WERE MILITARY, AND THE POTUS, OR THE SECRETARY OF STATE MAYBE (???) ISSUED A STAND-DOWN ORDER WHEN WE WERE TRYING TO SAVE OUR OWN, HOW PISSED-OFF WOULD WE BE???

The election was NOT delayed, top military commanders WERE replaced/fired/reprimanded and Petraeus, head of the CIA, but who was also another Middle Eastern ex-commander, was exposed for an affair.
It's well known that the Pentagon thinks Obama is too SOFT on going to war, on interfering in Syria, etc. and was totally pissed-off that BigO wanted to shut down GITMO (initially, at least), pull out of the Middle East (initially), and use diplomacy and talks to address the Iranian issue.
Half of America seems to feel the same...we call that half "Republicans", though many who like the thoughts of a NEW war to "improve the financial standing of the corporations who provide weaponry, etc, for defense", and a HUGE profit for investors in those companies, are Democrats. Depends on where your 'loyalty' lies as to the WAR MACHINE, yes?
So, did Iran and Israel also know about the coup attempt planned by U.S. military?
Or is this just rumor?

IT HAS HAPPENED BEFORE!!!The Cuban Missile Crisis almost caused a US military coup

The Pentagon’s Joint Chiefs of Staff insisted to President Kennedy that a preemptive surgical strike of Cuba was the only way to respond to the Soviet Union’s placement of missiles in Cuba.
Defense Secretary Robert McNamara instead proposed the idea of a US Navy “quarantine” of the island. (US officials avoided using the word “blockade” because it’s an overt act of war.)[THIS WAS WHEN THE OPERATION NORTHWOODS [SEE EXCERPTS AT THE END OF THIS BLOG] WAS OFFERED. IF YOU HAVEN'T READ THAT PIECE OF WORK, DO SO! IT PERFECTLY OUTLINES A 9/11 SCENARIO, TO BE BLAMED ON CUBA!]The Joint Chiefs “were not at all happy with this,” says Robert Pastor, director of the Center for North American Studies at American University in Washington. These Pentagon officials “were prepared to go to war if the Soviets had not accepted the withdrawal of the missiles.”

US officials later learned that had the US military invaded Cuba, the Soviets were prepared to launch tactical nuclear weapons at the US, adds Dr. Pastor, who was national security adviser on Latin America in the late ’70s and McNamara’s son-in-law.

Robert Kennedy recalled in his memoirs that “the members of the Joint Chiefs of Staff were unanimous in railing for immediate military action” and “forcefully presented their view that the blockade would not be effective.”

Air Force Gen. Curtis LeMay in particular “strongly argued with the president that a military attack was essential,” according to the Robert Kennedy memoirs.

The memoirs also say that the State Department proceeded with preparations “for a crash program on civil government in Cuba to be established after the invasion and occupation of the country” and that McNamara reported the military’s conclusion that “we should expect very heavy casualties in the invasion.”

President Kennedy ultimately decided on a blockade.

During negotiations with the Soviets, however, Robert Kennedy warned them that “there were indeed people in the Pentagon that would take action if Kennedy did not – that there could be a military coup,” Pastor says, adding that Robert Kennedy “wasn’t bluffing.”

After the crisis, McNamara went to the president and said, “We need to replace LeMay and [Chief of Naval Operations Adm. George Whelan] Anderson. They were both insubordinate, and we need to send a clear message on that,” Pastor says. “Bob McNamara told me this personally.”

The president told McNamara that for political reasons, he could only publicly discipline one person and told McNamara to choose. McNamara picked Anderson, whom Kennedy then nominated to be ambassador to Portugal.

Robert Kennedy for his part reflected on the president’s discussion with the US military leaders in his memoirs. “Like all meetings of this kind, certain statements were made as accepted truisms which I, at least, thought were of questionable validity. One member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, for example, argued that we could use nuclear weapons, on the basis that our adversaries would use theirs against us in an attack,” he recalled.

“I thought, as I listened, of the many times that I had heard the military take positions which, if wrong, had the advantage that no one would be around at the end to know.”

ATTEMPT TO OVERTHROW FDR
In 1934 General Smedley D. Butler went public after he was approached by
Wall Street and offered up to 300 million dollars to lead an army of
500,00 veterans equipped with munitions from Remington Arms Company to
Washington D.C., in order to overthrow the U.S. Government by force.
The plot was investigated by the McCormack-Dickstein committee, which
found General Butler to be telling the truth.
School texts ... are uniquely silent about the powerful Americans who
plotted to seize the White House with a private army, hold President
Franklin D. Roosevelt prisoner, and get rid of him if he refused to
serve as their puppet in a dictatorship they planned to impose and
control."
The backing of the revolution reportedly came from the American
Liberty League, which was headed by Morgan and DuPont. "Heavy
contributors," says Archer, also included, "the Pitcairn family
(Pittsburgh Plate Glass), Andrew W. Mellon Associates, Rockefeller
Associates, E. F. Hutton Associates, William S. Knudsen (General
Motors), and the Pew family (Sun Oil Associates)." The online
encyclopedia, Wikipedia, added, "General
Butler claimed that the American Liberty League was the primary means of
funding the plot. The main backers were the DuPont family, as well as
leaders of U.S. Steel, General Motors, Standard Oil, Chase National
Bank, and Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company."ADDITIONAL DOCUMENTATION OF FDR COUP ATTEMPT, added 01/15/2013 below:
In 1934, retired Marine Corps Major General Smedley Butler testified to the Special Committee on Un-American Activities Congressional committee (the "McCormack-Dickstein Committee") on this coup attempt. [Schlesinger, p. 85] In the opinion of the committee, these allegations were credible. [Schlesinger, p. 83] No one was ever prosecuted.When the committee's final report was released, the New York Times said the committee "purported to report that a two-month investigation had convinced it that General Butler's story of a fascist march on Washington was alarmingly true" and "It also alleged that definite proof had been found that the much publicized Fascist march on Washington, which was to have been led by Major. Gen. Smedley D. Butler, retired, according to testimony at a hearing, was actually contemplated."["Gen. Butler Bares 'Fascist Plot' To Seize Government by Force; Says Bond Salesman, as Representative of Wall St. Group, Asked Him to Lead Army of 500,000 in March on Capital – Those Named Make Angry Denials – Dickstein Gets Charge.". The New York Times: 1. 1934-11-2] [Also see: The New York Times February 16, 1935. p. 1, "It also alleged that definite proof had been found that the much publicized Fascist march on Washington, which was to have been led by Major. Gen. Smedley D. Butler, retired, according to testimony at a hearing, was actually contemplated. The committee recalled testimony by General Butler, saying he had testified that Gerald C. MacGuire had tried to persuade him to accept the leadership of a Fascist army."]Butler later said that the committee had deliberately edited out of its published findings the leading business people whom he had named in connection with the plot. He said on February 17, 1935, on Radio WCAU, "Like most committees it has slaughtered the little and allowed the big to escape. The big shots weren't even called to testify. They were all mentioned in the testimony. Why was all mention of these names suppressed from the testimony?"[BBC Radio 4 Document "The White House Coup – Greenham's Hidden Secret"]The Congressional committee preliminary report said:

"'This committee has had no evidence before it that would in the slightest degree warrant calling before it such men as John W. Davis, Gen. Hugh Johnson, General Harbord, Thomas W. Lamont, Admiral Sims, or Hanford MacNider.... This committee received evidence from Maj. Gen Smedley D. Butler (retired), twice decorated by the Congress of the United States. He testified before the committee as to conversations with one Gerald C. MacGuire in which the latter is alleged to have suggested the formation of a fascist army under the leadership of General Butler. MacGuire denied these allegations under oath, but your committee was able to verify all the pertinent statements made by General Butler, with the exception of the direct statement suggesting the creation of the organization. This, however, was corroborated in the correspondence of MacGuire with his principal, Robert Sterling Clark, of New York City, while MacGuire was abroad studying the various forms of veterans organizations of Fascist character.[See: 74th Congress House of Representatives Report, pursuant to House Resolution No. 198, 73d Congress, February 15, 1935. Quoted in: George Seldes, 1000 Americans (1947), pp. 290–292. See also Schmidt, p. 245] The BBC's online précis for its documentary program 'The White House Coup' said, "The coup was aimed at toppling President Franklin D. Roosevelt with the help of half-a-million war veterans." [ BBC Radio 4 Document "The White House Coup – Greenham's Hidden Secret"] The program connected major companies to the American Liberty League, formed by Al Smith, who, the program asserted, was to be the fascist ruler.[http://www.archive.org/details/TheWhitehouseCoup] Under great pressure to jail and charge with treason many top U.S. Military officers after the failed 1933 coup attempt, this report says, Roosevelt, instead, opted to simply oust those Generals and other high-ranking officers in order to spare his country 'the turmoil such a revelation would cause among the American people'.<end adendum>

BURN THESE NAMES INTO YOUR MEMORY BANKS! REMEMBER THEM! AND REMEMBER TO WHOM THEY APPEALED FOR HELP...HIGH-BRASS MILITARY!

IF THERE EVER WAS A MILITARY COUP IN AMERICA, TRUST ME, YOU WOULD NOT WANT TO BE AROUND IN THE AFTERMATH. THE PRICE OF FREEDOM IS ETERNAL VIGILANCE! WE MUST ALL BE WATCHMEN ON THE WALL.

AS A P.S., here is an "OPERATION NORTHWOODS" excerpt, BECAUSE THIS IS IMPORTANT FOR AMERICANS TO KNOW. THE FOLLOWING IS TAKEN DIRECTLY FROM A DECLASSIFIED DOCUMENT AVAILABLE FOR DOWNLOAD, TYPOS APPEAR JUST AS THEY DID IN 1962. YOU NEED TO REMEMBER THAT THIS WAS ENTIRELY "DOABLE"/POSSIBLE IN 1962, SO IMAGINE WHAT WAS 'DOABLE" IN 2001!:From Page 13 of the actual document: 7. Hijacking attempts against civil air and surface craftshould appear to continue as harassing measures condoned by thegovernment of Cuba. Concurrently, genuine defections of Cubancivil and military air and surface craft should be encouraged.

8. It is possible to create an incident which will demonstrateconvincingly that a Cuban aircraft has attacked and shot downa chartered civil airliner enroute from the United States toJamaica, Guatemala, Panama or Venezuela. The destination wouldbe chosen only to cause the flight plan route to cross Cuba.The passengers could be a group of college students off on aholiday or any grouping of persons with a common interest tosupport chartering a non-scheduled flight.

a. An aircraft at Eglin AFB would be painted and numbered as an exact duplicate for a civil registered aircraft belonging to a CIA proprietary organization in the Miami area. At a designated time the duplicate would be subsituted for the actual civil aircraft and would be loaded with the selected passengers, all boarded under carefully prepared aliases. The actual registered aircraft would be converted to a drone.

b. Take off times of the drone aircraft and the actual aircraft will be scheduled to allow a rendezvous south of Florida. From the rendezvous point the passenger-carrying aircraft will descend to minimum altitude and go directly into an auxiliary field at Eglin AFB where arrangements will have been made to evacuate the passengers and return the aircraft to its original status. The drone aircraft meanwhile will continue to fly the filed flight plan. When over Cuba the drone will being transmitting on the inter- national distress frequency a "MAY DAY" message stating he is under attack by Cuban MIG aircraft. The transmission will be interrupted by the destruction of aircraft which will be triggered by radio signal. This will allow IACO radio

Page 14 stations in the Western Hemisphere to tell the US what has happened to the aircraft instead of the US trying to "sell" the incident.

9. It is possible to create an incident which will make itappear that Communist Cuban MIGs have destroyed a USAF aircraftover international waters in an unprovoked attack.

a. Approximately 4 of 5 F-101 aircraft will be dispatched in trail from Homestead AFB, Florida, to the vicinity of Cuba. Their mission will be to reverse course and simulate fakir aircraft for an air defense exercise in southern Florida. These aircraft would conduct variations of these flights at frequent intervals. Crews would be briefed to remain at least 12 miles off the Cuban coast; however, they would be required to carry live ammunition in the event that hostile actions were taken by the Cuban MIGs.

b. On one such flight, a pre-briefed pilot would fly tail-end Charley at considerable interval between aircraft. While near the Cuban Island this pilot would broadcast that he had been jumped by MIGs and was going down. No other calls would be made. The pilot would then fly directly west at extremely low altitude and land at a secure base, an Eglin auxiliary. The aircraft would be met by the proper people, quickly stored and given a new tail number. The pilot who had performed the mission under an alias, would resume his proper identity and return to his normal place of business. The pilot and aircraft would then have disappeared.

c. At precisely the same time that the aircraft was presumably shot down a submarine or small surface craft would disburse F-101 parts, parachute, etc., at approximately 15 to 20 miles off the Cuban coast and depart. The pilots retuning to Homestead would have a true story as far as they knew. Search ships and aircraft could be dispatched and parts of aircraft found.

The above excerpts are taken from the original 15-page US Government TOP SECRET document, "Chairman, Joint Chiefs of Staff, Justification for US Military Intervention in Cuba [including cover memoranda], March 13, 1962," available at http://www.gwu.edu/~nsarchiv/news/20010430/northwoods.pdfTHIS WAS THE MINDS OF THE U.S. MILITARY IN 1962, this "OPERATION NORTHWOODS"....HAS ANYTHING CHANGED?
